Rafting
Raft the Saru and Mukawa Rivers of the Hidaka Mountains
Experience rafting on two rivers with distinct characteristics: the clear waters of the Saru River and the rapids of the Mukawa River, each offering a different river experience.
Known for its clean water, the Saru River is characterized by high water clarity and natural scenery. Calm stretches and rapids alternate as you raft downstream, while the surrounding landscape provides a scenic backdrop. The changing river conditions add variety to the course.
In contrast, the Mukawa River features rapids and rising waves created by significant drops along its course. Water splashes as the raft moves over the waves, while paddlers work together to navigate the river. Changes in the current and wave conditions create the dynamic experience unique to rafting.
During the spring snowmelt season, water levels rise and the current can become stronger. Tours are available for both beginners and experienced paddlers, offering opportunities to experience the different characteristics of the two rivers as they change with the seasons and weather conditions. The contrast between the rivers allows visitors to enjoy different styles of rafting in the Hidaka area.
